I watch YouTube on my TV and the ads are annoying enough that I actually looked into subscribing to YouTube Premium to make the ads go away (and better support the content creators I follow). But I'm not ready to pay YouTube $12/month just to make ads go away. I would probably pay $5/month. Netflix's basic plan only costs $9/month.

Please don't; this gives money to (and thus rewards and encourages) advertisers; use something like http://youtube-dl.org/ instead.

YT Premium also includes YT music, and the creators you want to support get extra from Google when Premium users subscribe. For me, it’s worth the price and has almost entirely replaced TV for me (still need my F1 races...)

A totally unrelated service that you have to pay for ( and more expensive than rivals) is not a positive.

I am using https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext and it is pretty good.

The price of Youtube Premium is high because it's bundled with a music subscription. That's a shame and is also the reason I don't subscribe.

Me too.

And the fact that even with premium, PiP on iOS is still deliberately broken on web & in their app.
